Long over-due update

I'm sure you all thought we'd left the planet, right? Well, almost! We've done some changes in our Internet service and I don't have as much time to blog as I did before but its ok, its saving us around $40 a month so I can adjust! :)

We are still in Texas. =( Its with very mixed feelings that we are here. Our heart are FOR REAL in Mexico but its so dangerous to travel in and out of there right now, that after praying and getting wise counsel we've decided for the sake of the safety of our children we'll stay here until God leads otherwise. Jonathan has been able to find some work here and we're thankful for that! We also need to stay put for a few months to take care of some responsibilities we have on the property we are renting. I don't claim to understand God's will, we just want to be willing followers of whatever that entails for our lives! Being a missionary doesn't always mean going to a foreign field. Jonathan's had many opportunities to witness to co-workers the past month or so and its exciting us! We've wondered if maybe God's placed us here just for those people! We want to be willing and happy vessels wherever God leads us!

I started homeschooling Kylie this year with the Abeka K4 program. I've always liked it and I still do after using it for 6 weeks. She's doing really good and we're trying to work extra hard and get caught up since we started about 8 weeks later than most schools. Most days its a real challenge to get school done with 2 toddlers that still need attention, but we are working it out!

Our dog Copper had 7 puppies at the end of September! One of the benefits of us going to PA in July! ;) 3 died, but the rest are healthy and doing good! We were able to get rid of all but 1, so we are keeping her! She's a cutie and loves to play! Jonathan named her "Peanut Butter"...I think we'll be coming up with a nick name! She's that color...so it was a good name for her!

I've got some real camera issues so no pictures for tonight! :( Hopefully they will be fixed soon!
